Carney and ABC's Jonathan Karl Have at It in Briefing; Rest of Press Virtually Guaranteed to Ignore

Evidence of testiness on the Democratic side of the 17% government shutdown continues to accumulate.

Today, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney had a tense exchange with ABC's Jonathan Karl, who was apparently so taken aback by Carney's answer to another reporter that he interjected himself into the dialog — to correct Carney about what House Speaker John Boehner said earlier today about his openness to negotiating. Carney also announced that Americans won't have to wait to see how the nation's healthcare delivery system changes in 2014 to experience long times spent in waiting rooms (Patience, please; it will become clear later in the post). But first, let's get the Blaze's rundown of the Carney-Karl exchange (bolds are mine):

This refers to Monday's presser. At the Tuesdaay WH Puppet Show, Karl - Senior WH correspondent for abc was NOT allowed to ask a question.

I guess his access is over for saying the emperor has no clothes.

Yes, it will be interesting to see IF they continue to let the administration lead them around on a leash.

Going on 5+ years plus the campaign time prior to ‘08 elections.

When will they ever have enough? Grow a spine. And report the news. Report the TRUTH.

ABC biting the hand that feeds them? Uh oh, Jonathan won’t have his job for long once the #SpiteHouse makes a call to ABC executives.

“When will they ever have enough? Grow a spine. And report the news. Report the TRUTH.”

They can’t as then they’d be admitting to complicity in Zero’s crap.
And they don’t want that.
So, to avoid the pitch forks, torches, tar and feathers, they hope they can keep that at bay by keeping quiet and being good lap dogs.
Even if it means they are bought and paid for.
Like cheap Detroit hookers.

Pffft. A minor dust up. A media member had a temporary bout of sanity. Karl will be severely punished, and the rest of the palace guard media will take note. Obama worship will return to it’s regular schedule.

Not only a leash, but a leather nighty and a ball gag.

The Leftists are willingly submissive.

Well, I could have mentioned the “Five dollar special” Newburgh NY girls, but that joke’s been overused in my area.

Ah Newburgh, beautiful Newburgh. Stayed there once and only once when visiting The Academy a couple years back. It reminded me of West Baltimore....

The “nuked out mutant zone” vibe is rather quaint.
Expect Snake Plisskin to wander around the corner any time one is there.

Mutiny in the press room! I wonder how the reporters like being treated like Administration stooges?
